If your new computer comes with a PATA port on the m/b you can simply take the hard drive from your old computer and plug it in there. Then. you can access all your old info, for as long as you need. On my desktop, I still have my old Win98 hard drive working with Win7. There also cables available for transferring. And Win7 has a built in program for doing this. If you go this route, it be a bit more involved, but its fairly straight forward. I bought a USB cable with a turnover to allow this type of transfer, but never got around to using it, because I jusy moved the old h/d. |
